8w3d/July 23

Previous loss(es)? 7 babes in heaven, 6mc 1stillborn

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? 
I'm losing my mind and feel so emotionally drained with how temperamental this pregnancy is being. Meanwhile babe is happily jiving along. 

Any appointment updates? Next us is on the 21st. 

Rants/Raves/Questions?  Doc asked if we want to do NIPT. I'm so torn and don't know what to do. It wouldn't change anything for us but at the same time I would like being prepared and also possibly knowing the sex despite Hubbs not wanting to know.

Any milestones coming up? Just counting down the days to second tri... Jan 15.

GTKY: what is your favorite holiday tradition this time of year? I just love spending time with my loved ones.

Weeks/EDD/How many times a mom? 
7+3/ July 29 but twins, so earlier/ 4 LC 

Previous loss(es)? 1 MMC, 2 CP, 1 loss at 14 weeks due to a bloodstream infection 

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically?
 Physically I feel tired.
Emotionally I’m all over the map. I’m only having fatigue as a symptom and I keep convincing myself that I have suffered another MMC. I keep reading about Mo-Di and Mo-Mo twins and the likelihood of loss before 12 weeks even after heartbeats are seen and I’m just preparing myself for the worst. 

Any appointment updates? 

No updates… next appt is in 8 days. Hoping to see two babes and be able to really know if they’re mono or di 

Rants/Raves/Questions? 

My original baby turns 9 soon! Crazy!! 

Any milestones coming up? 

I’ll be really relieved to make it to 12 weeks with 2 babies. But I’m sure I’ll not stop worrying until they’re in my arms.

the women in my family get together and do iron on transfers (from books from the 80s and 90s) and puffy paint them on white sweatshirts. We then wear them to our family events and it’s pretty comical and fun. I love it.

@peppylilfoxy fx for a good ultrasound on 12/21! We’ve never done NIPT, but I’m 36, will be 37 when I deliver, so I think we are going to do it but not find out the sex. It is a personal decision, but I’m looking at it like you. I’d rather be prepared.

Weeks/EDD/How many times a mom?  10+1, I have a 3 yr old son

Previous loss(es)? MMC in August baby never developed beyond 6+3 due to trisomy 16 but i didn't have a D&C until 11 weeks

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? I had a couple of nights recently that weren't as terrible, but then some nights extra terrible with nausea and i left a meeting briefly today with nausea, so that was fun. physically my lower belly is growing too. emotionally feeling okay, although still apprehensive. I've had 2 good ultrasounds so far and another one this Thursday.  I think right now i'm so exhausted and just barely keeping up with things that I'm almost too tired to be worried most of the time. I can also tell I have more pregnancy symptoms, like they keep progressing to new things, more so than during my MMC so that makes me feel a little better

Any appointment updates? I have an appointment in 2 days to check on an SCH. it was smaller 2 weeks ago than 4 weeks ago and I haven't had an bleeding, so hopefully all is looking good

Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone else have a hard time making the switch to maternity clothes? With my first I wouldn't let myself buy anything until 2nd trimester, although the last couple weeks of first trimester I was already getting uncomfortable in some of my clothes. the last week or so my lower abdomen is definitely larger and my pants are getting uncomfortable, but i'm struggling to get myself to get my maternity clothes out - it almost makes it more real and like I expect things to turn out well. Anyone else have weird feelings like this about maternity clothes? I know i need to get them out because I'm getting uncomfortable in what i have and I work in an office with patients 3 days a week

Any milestones coming up? Next week will be the time I had a D&C with my last pregnancy, I"m already measuring further along

GTKY: what is your favorite holiday tradition this time of year? Christmas cookies - making tons for all our friends/family/neighbors, special family dinners, looking at christmas lights.  

@peppylilfoxy we did NIPT with our first when i was 33/34 - to find out sex early and learn about any possible issues -for us there were certain conditions where we might consider a TFMR or at least want to prepare. I am 37 now and we will be doing one again this week

Weeks/EDD/How many times a mom? 11 weeks/July 8/One LC

Previous loss(es)? Yea, I don't want to type this out every time, it's a lot. But I'm an open book, check the last thread for the details and feel free to ask questions.

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? I have been feeling exhausted and very nauseous (but haven't actually been sick which is good!) And emotionally I am on cloud 9 today.

Any appointment updates? I had my first ultrasound today and baby looked great. Measuring ahead (11+6) and legit bouncing off the walls in there! I think someone mentioned in this chat a few weeks back about having ultrasound PTSD, and I was so anxious to have that first one! But I am so relieved and happy today!

Rants/Raves/Questions? N/a

Any milestones coming up? 12 weeks is right around the corner! I know from experience that it is not the out of the woods line we all wish it was...but still a big milestone!

GTKY: what is your favorite holiday tradition this time of year? I love wrapping gifts with special touches for each person! I love Christmas morning breakfast with my family! And I looooove throwing my tree outside as soon as freaking possible...usually 10pm on the 25th or 9am on the 26th!
